A couple of etiquette questions
So tomorrow is Rainow 5 race and it has its fair share of styles and spring loaded gates. So what is the etiquette with gates when someone is just that bit behind you that to keep it open would make you stop.
Do you let the gate slam shut or wait that extra 1 second. Usually I would hold the gate but every second counts when you are competing for 91st place.
At last years race there was a field of frisky stamping cows/bullocks (this year the same field has a number of cows and the worlds biggest bull). So what is the etiquette if caught in the middle of a field with stamping cows
a) Hide behind the person in 90th place and shout wildly
b) Take it like a man/woman
c) Carry some Bovril which hopefully will act as some sort of threat
d) Retreat rapidly
So many dilemmas
